Chapter 363: Persuasion
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Now that things had come to this, even if Huo You was a complete idiot, she should know that Mr. and Mrs. Huo were completely unreliable. Huo Feng wasn’t worried that Huo You would be bewitched by the vague marriage her parents mentioned.
Therefore, when Huo You returned to the Huo Family and Mr. Huo started to make things difficult for her, Huo Feng restrained his expression and sat silently at the side. He looked like he was worried about his family members having an argument. In fact, he was watching the show happily, observing
the development of things.
Just as Huo Feng had said to Mr. and Mrs. Huo previously, Huo You appeared extremely unbridled in front of them, not caring about Mr. Huo’s prestige as the family head. In front of the furious Mr. Huo, she actually mocked him without any reservation.
‘Mr. Huo was actually a paper tiger who only knew how to put up a bluff. When he realized that his anger couldn’t intimidate Huo You, he prepared to let his wife step in.
Mrs. Huo followed Mr. Huo’s instructions and sat beside Huo You. She started persuading her to give up on the marriage agreement with He Yu and use her marriage to get connected with the Hill Family’s branch members.
It was only because Mrs. Huo had a grudge against Mr. Huo that the couple no longer cooperated well like before.
Mrs. Huo’s tone was very dry. “… Compared to a real world-class elite family, the He Family is nothing, Youyou, this is a rare opportunity. As long as you get married to any man of the Hill Family’s age, you’ll be able to leap to become a world-class wealthy lady. This is a good thing that many people
wouldn’t even dare to dream of even if they worked hard their entire lives…”
It was as if Mrs. Huo was reading out the lines that were written. Her persuasion was dry and emotionless. If she were to use such a tone to persuade others, they probably wouldn’t even have the desire to hear her complete speech. So how could they possibly agree to her request or suggestion?
Mrs. Huo’s passive attitude made Mr. Huo even more dissatisfied. He initially felt a little guilty towards Mrs. Huo, but seeing that she still dared to throw a tantrum on a matter that concerned the Huo Family’s survival, the anger in his heart bumed stronger.
Mr. Huo wanted to flare up, but he knew that the most important thing now was to find a way to convince Huo You to agree to a political marriage with a member of the Hill Family’s branch family instead of educating his wife, who didn’t have a strong sense of the big picture. Therefore, Mr. Huo
suppressed his anger.
Huo You fiddled with her exquisitely-done nails and listened to Mrs. Huo nagging in her ear in boredom.
She started with a lot of nonsense and analyzed the benefits of having a political marriage with a member of the Hill Family’s branch families. Then, she started listing the young men from the Hill Family who had come to attend the banquet
She had to admit that Mrs. Huo was actually quite capable. She had been accompanying Mr. Huo in the lounge during the first half of the banquet, but she still had a good grasp of most of the information about the more important guests at the banquet. With her ability to gather information, it was no
wonder that Mrs. Huo could sit firmly in the position as the madam of the Huo Family for 20 years. Even though Mr. Huo had spent a lot of time fooling around outside, he had never thought of swaying Mrs. Huo’s position.
Huo You listened to Mrs. Huo list a few young men with the surname Hill, but the words went in one ear and left the other. She couldn’t even remember their names.
She initially thought that it was interesting to see Mrs. Huo and Mr. Huo giving in to her. She wanted to admire this for a little longer, but when she heard Mrs. Huo nagging for several minutes without any signs of stopping, Huo You became a little impatient.
She frowned and waved her hand in frustration. “Alright, stop talking. I heard you mention so many members of the Hill Family’s branch families, but how many of these people can really enter the Hill Family’s business? They’re just some rich second-generation heirs who can only collect wealth from
their family funds. How can they compare to He Yu, who has completely taken control of the He Family?”
Huo You had deliberately mentioned He Yu’s name not because she really liked He Yu, but because she wanted to use him to disgust Mrs. Huo and Mr. Huo.
After all, when Huo You hadn’t wanted to settle the marriage agreement with He Yu, the two of them had used this excuse to persuade her in the beginning. They said stuff like, “He Yu has completely taken control of the He Family despite his young age. After marrying him, you don’t have to lower
yourself to anyone.. As long as you coax your husband well, you can easily enjoy the life of a wealthy lady for the rest of your life…”
